Nell Grobbelaar's room

Cape Town, Western Cape 8005

Furnished two-bedroom flat in an excellent Sea Point location, right next to the Promenade.

The available room is the larger of the two bedrooms and comes furnished with a bed, mattress, built-in cupboards and a desk. There’s one full bathroom shared between the two of us, plus a separate guest toilet.

The flat also has a small balcony, good security, and an in-unit washing machine and tumble dryer.

The location is a real highlight: the Promenade is practically on your doorstep, there are plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby (including Maggy Lou’s), and Woolworths, Checkers and other everyday conveniences are within easy reach.

Wi-Fi, water and secure garage parking are included in the rent. Electricity is prepaid and split equally between the two occupants.

The lease is for 12 months.

You’ll be sharing the flat with me. I’m currently in my first year of working and split my time between the office and working from home.

I’m fairly easy-going and enjoy a friendly home environment. I’m always up for a good chat or occasionally doing something together, but equally enjoy having my own space and getting on with my own things. I think it’s nice when you get along with the person you live with, but there’s no pressure for us to be joined at the hip!

I like keeping the flat clean and comfortable, and appreciate a bit of effort from both sides in looking after the shared spaces. I’m not particularly fussy about things being spotless all the time, but I do appreciate the flat being left reasonably tidy at the end of the day.

I’m hoping to find someone who is considerate, respectful and responsible, and who is looking for a comfortable place to call home. Occasional visitors are absolutely fine, and generally just being mindful of each other’s routines and schedules goes a long way.

No smoking or pets, please.
